Motivational Monday...Stop “Communicating!”
When this texting thing appeared in my world many years ago it was hard to get used to. My friend, whom I was used to having nice conversations with 
over the phone, suddenly was texting short messages.
She explained that it was easier for her to text while she was sitting at the soccer field or in the gym rather than to try to have a phone conversation. I get it! And texting grew on me.
~ It’s ideal when you simply need an answer to a question or to confirm an appointment.
~Texting also gives you a digital trail which could come in handy.
~Texting lets you send information quickly such as addresses and phone numbers.
~Texting is a wonderful way to send a quick “Hello” to someone.
But…
~Have you ever had multiple text conversations going and sent the message to the wrong person?
~Why is it that when you have a text stream going and ask a question, you get everything back but the answer?
~ And finally, that darn auto-correct!!! I can’t tell you how many times I might have been thrown in jail because of what my text was auto-corrected to.
One day my friend and I had been texting when both of us decided to just pick up the phone and have a real conversation. It felt great!
Texting has its place but sometimes you need to stop communicating and start conversing.
Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation. Mark Twain
